NAME

sgi2tiff - create a
TIFF
file from an
SGI
image file

SYNOPSIS

sgi2tiff
[
options
]
input.rgboutput.tif

DESCRIPTION

sgi2tiff
converts a file in the
SGI
image format to
TIFF.
By default, the
TIFF
image is created with data samples packed (PlanarConfiguration=1),
compressed with the Lempel-Ziv & Welch algorithm (Compression=5),
and with each strip no more than 8 kilobytes.
These characteristics can overridden, or explicitly specified
with the options described below.

OPTIONS

-c

Specify a compression scheme to use when writing image data:
-c none
for no compression,
-c packbits
for the PackBits compression algorithm),
-c jpeg
for the baseline JPEG compression algorithm,
-c zip
for the Deflate compression algorithm,
and
-c lzw
for Lempel-Ziv & Welch (the default).

-p

Explicitly select the planar configuration used in organizing
data samples in the output image:
-p contig
for samples packed contiguously, and
-p separate
for samples stored separately.
By default samples are packed.

-r

Write data with a specified number of rows per strip;
by default the number of rows/strip is selected so that each strip
is approximately 8 kilobytes.
